Frank, no problem running without it. It was only installed on radio equipped Corvettes anyway and was designed to reduce possible electrical interference to the radio due to the cars fiberglass body; not a heat shield.

Mine's been off all year Frank. No problems at all. Call me crazy, but I like being able to see my distributor and wires :hat

Also, don't modern sparkplug wires prevent radio interference anyway? I ask the question, but I get interference on AM even with new wires and the distributor shielding! oh well..... MJ

HI, Thanks Guy's I just got home and have to look at it tomm, If I can not get the 8mm wires routed through it without them being pinched then I may just take it off.Thanks again ,Frank
